The New England Auto Racing Hall of Fame will enshrine a group of distinguished racers and builders on January 25, 2009

Racing, the kind that occurs on tracks, doesn’t happen much during New England winters. There is a annual off-season fete, however, that salutes the region’s very best in motorsport. The New England Auto Racing Hall of Fame will enshrine its latest inductees on January 25, 2009, joining the 102 luminaries already so honored.

This is a huge event, especially if you’re a New England native or transplant. NEAR’s induction is sited at the LaRenaissance Banquet Hall in East Windsor, Connecticut, north of Hartford. Tickets are set to go on sale November 1 on the NEAR Web site.
